The comedy legend had fans in stitches at the Blackpool Opera House, with many taking to Twitter to share snaps of the star.

And some were hoping that the appearance would lead to a comeback tour - with some even cheekily suggesting he should call it the 'I'm Not Dead' tour after fake social media rumours following the cancellation.

One fan said: "Can't wait for #peterkay next tour. I'm not dead tour!"

And another wrote: "Glad you're still with us look forward to the I'm not dead tour. When you feel up to it. Hope all is well seriously. You are a legend"

The 44-year-old funnyman was set to tour for the first time in eight years, but scrapped all dates of his Peter Kay Live Arena Tour.

He said in an announcement on his Facebook page: "Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I deeply regret that I am having to cancel all of my upcoming work projects.

"This includes my upcoming stand-up tour, Dance for Life shows and any outstanding live work commitments."

"My sincerest apologies," he continued, insisting the decision had not been 'taken lightly.'

"I'm sure you'll understand that my family must always come first." he said. "I've always endeavoured to protect my family's privacy from the media. I hope that the media and the public will continue to respect our privacy at this time. Once again, I'm very sorry."

"This includes my upcoming stand-up tour, Dance for Life shows and any outstanding live work commitments."
